David,
It sounds like you have encountered a vendor that has a niche product and is the only one that has this application or the vendor is not wanting to sell very many packages! Loren Charnley, Jr. IT Systems Engineer FAMILY DOLLAR (704) 847-6961 Ext. 3327 (704) 814-3327 [email protected] ________________________________ From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Boyes Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2009 10:53 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Philosophical question... Background: Upgrading a system to current level. Have a vendor product that insists on the installation of a backlevel component application that causes the configuration and service management system to report errors in the configuration. Vendor insists that the backlevel component is the only way, but the errors cause problems with future upgrades and overall configuration management by reporting false positives when checked for whether the system is up to date and has all service applied. Question: I believe the maker of the vendor product is in error here. Am I wrong? -- db ----------------------------------------- ************************************************************ NOTE: This e-mail message contains PRIVILEGED and CONFIDENTIAL information and is intended only for the use of the specific individual or individuals to which it is addressed.
